>Description:
        If you use efax-gtk to send faxes, it calls efax with a "-u"
        flag, which version 0.9 does not know. According to the source
        of efax-gtk, it is to force UTF-8 text input.
        Near that place it is also suggested that the efax version
        should be 0.9a instead of the 0.9 which we have in pkgsrc.
        There appears to be a newer version of efax included in the
        distfile efax-gtk-3.0.6.src.tgz, and it differs significantly
        from the efax-0.9 source.
>How-To-Repeat:
        Try to send fax with efax-gtk.
        See a "usage" message instead of a fax transmission.
>Fix:
        Workaround:
        You can use a front-end script in the path to filter out the
        -u option.
        Probable fix:
        build and install the efax as included in efax-gtk.
